Grade 6 · Writing · Lesson 11

Shift point of view intentionally

Every story is told through a lens. That lens is the narrator\'s point of view (POV). Choosing first person (I/we), second person (you), or third person (he/she/they) is one of the most powerful decisions a writer makes — it shapes what the reader knows, who they trust, and how closely they connect with the story.

What this lesson teaches

1Identify first-person, second-person, and third-person limited vs omniscient narration
2Explain how point of view affects what the reader knows, feels, and believes
3Rewrite a scene from a different point of view and explain what changes and why
4Choose the most effective point of view for a given narrative purpose
